Okay, that is good to know they have it corrected. My suggestion would have been to drill and tap the bottom side of the bag and but a little quarter inch , quarter turn ball valve to let the pressure out. It would still be water tight and if the saddle bag wasn't lined it would also make a nice little cooler for water on day trips and then drain it using the ball valve at the end of the day.

That would work really good, in fact I like the idea a lot. As a matter of practicality I only had the problem once, and it took 13,000 feet of elevation change to trigger it. After that happened, if I thought I was losing too much elevation I'd merely open the bags once or twice.
I did 'electrify' the RH bag sometime after that. Put a bulkhead connector in it so I could still remove it but also charge my laptop as I rode.
I like the idea of a 'day ride cooler'. I'm looking at Connie as we speak.
Sounds like the saddle bags are not lined if you are looking at the girl in that way right now. Should be an easy installation if you decided to do it.
